Beautifully evocative story of a genuine connection with the wilds
Moving. Authentic and completely unselfconscious.
An absolute tonic.
Makes me yearn to return to the northbof Scotland with all its raw majesty.

A great classic
A great old school book, very romantic in an old English/Scottish kind of way. I loved the film and now I love this book.

Ring of Bright Water - Very bright
I really enjoyed this, mainly because the quality of the narration and the story of a life so isolated and remote it almost took you to the cottage and the countryside...you could smell it!

Addictive
Beautiful use of the English language. Wonderfully pleasing to the ear. I now want an otter of my own.

Classic Nature Writing
Don’t miss this wonderful classic. The story of Gavin Maxwell’s life in a remote Scottish Croft with his otters is wonderful. Not to mention the geese.
There is tragedy with the joy but a wonderful listen.

Some Like it Otter
Although I have misgivings about keeping wild animals in a Chelsea flat ( not least because of the noise inflicted on the neighbours) and although I resent toffs able to indulge their eccentricities, I absolutely loved this memoir and the gentle spirit of the author. I recently saw the film - a very different narrative but equally as enjoyable - and so immediately downloaded the book. Maxwell's descriptions of landscape and life in a remote part of Scotland are so evocative and heartfelt as is his love for otters. I can't stop thinking about the woman who passed away in debt and whose creditor leant her stuff on tick knowing he would never be paid back or the naive geese that follow Maxwell on a hunting trip!
Special praise should be credited to the narrator David Rintoul who is not only the perfect casting for Maxwell but who has a calm, polite and nuanced voice that I could listen to forever.
